About Oaks Integrated Care – Cherry Hill Township
Oaks Integrated Care is a nonprofit organization in Cherry Hill, New Jersey that works to improve the lives of adults and families dealing with addiction and mental illness. They provide health and social services to help their clients achieve physical and emotional wellness. The main treatments Oaks Integrated Care offers are medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and intensive and nonintensive outpatient treatment.
They also have a program called Safe at Home which offers case management and peer support services for individuals living with opioid use disorder who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. This organization treats those who are addicted to alcohol, opioids, or have co-occurring disorders.
They combine their MAT program with peer services and outpatient counseling. Clinicians will help clients decide whether to take monthly injections of Vivitrol or Sublocade or oral medications such as naltrexone or Suboxone. Advanced nurse practitioners and psychiatrists will help patients manage their usage of these medications based on personal treatment goals.
In outpatient treatment, the staff strives to help clients achieve better well-being at work, at home and anywhere within their community. Patients can expect to participate in individual and group therapy and peer recovery support.
The program also provides family and couples therapy and connection to community resources. Therapy sessions will generally focus on topics related to understanding addiction and preventing relapse.
Clients will likely learn about recognizing their triggers, coping with stress, and regulating their emotions. Peer specialists will guide patients by offering support and sharing their personal experiences with recovery. For homeless individuals in the Safe at Home program, staff members will help them find independent housing and establish a care plan to address any treatment needs.
